Professor Griffey is very passionate about the labor movement and greater social movements in the United States. I thoroughly enjoyed the historical and early origins of labor movements in the US, especially those related to the New Deal, as Professor Griffey made those lectures very interesting and engaging. As we moved towards more modern labor movements, the class pace slowed, as did the movements, although not due to the professor's fault, he tried his best to keep us as engaged as possible. I enjoyed the class, but I did find Professor Griffey to be slightly unorganized when it came to class assignments. A lot of the time, he would give us vague prompts for the essays and contradictory information in class and office hours. This also happened with our TAs, with them giving us information that would then be contradicted in lecture. If it were not for this, I argue the class would've been much more enjoyable, but it was a truly interesting class.

Amazing professor! He's clearly passionate about the material. He makes an effort to listen to class feedback and make any adjustments as needed. Definitely take his class!
